Interpenetrating Polymer Networks as a Route to Tunable Multi-responsive Biomaterials: Development of Novel Concepts
Abstract
Novel concepts are proposed for interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) that can be used in biomaterials responsive to multiple types of environmental stimuli. The IPNs can be a route to the tunable biomaterials whose chemical structure and/or morphology can be adjusted to the type of task to be performed. The significance of utilizing new types of processes in polymer chemistry such as the Suzuki polycondensation and living/controlled radical …
